EARS to you...

It's been a long day today, but I'm really glad I showed up at work... I was reminded that I have great co-workers (most of them), and even greater friends. Friends who care about me and my well-being.

Some of my friends are probably reading this post (M, L, C, and S) - and I hope they know that I truly value their friendship. I know that I'm moody and can be a pain in the butt sometimes (L, did you just roll your eyes??), but I also know that I'm smart, funny, and I love my friends - and that's why they love me.

S told me today that she loved the donkey... then she said, "or is it a jack-ass?" My response: depends on what mood I'm in at the moment.

To my friends and family: thanks for lending an EAR.

Hi EAR:
Ok, I'm two days late, but I'm finally doing my homework. You know how it is with 3 kids, one being the husband. I hope I am M on your list of friends. If not, please add me ... smile! I truly value your friendship as I only have a short list of those here. I feel your pain. You are a better person than you give yourself credit for. You deserve all of the best and I want you to be as happy as you can. I am here for you whenever. We have different experiences, but we both give more than we receive. I think that's why we connect so well! We are good people and my logic is, if the people whose lives we try to enrich can't see it, then it's their loss. I need you to focus on your and S and K's happiness first. The rest will fall into place. It may not come in the time you want it, but when it does, it will be right on time. Meanwhile, be good to yourself and try not to dwell on other's happiness. That was a lesson it took me years to figure out. Because we care so much for others, it's hard to let go. But you have to sometimes. It doesn't mean you don't still care, it just means that you can't "fix" other people, or make them like or love you. Exhale and let it go if you have to. You'll still be a good person. As my husband and best friend tell me all the time, "people come into your life for one of three reasons ... a reason, a season or a lifetime." It hurst sometimes, but it happens if it's not for a lifetime. I have felt that since I've been here on more than one occasion. Much love to you!
